Escher My Tree!

Bond of Union, 1956, by M. C. Escher


jingle my bell
call me merry
Santa Claus or Halle Berry
hang me on your Christmas tree
forward facing ( look at me )
let's escape these spiral traps
don our hats and boots and wraps
toddle off to magic land
living life as we had planned

    Your poem has a festive feel to it, but I wonder do we ever escape the traps? Lovely tree..

    Those faces would make quite the garland, wouldn't they? Hope your ornaments have a merry time! You, too...

    Ha! I just hope you are singing a lot as you have a lovely voice. I feel so far from Christmas. The end of the year is very busy in my work life (sigh.) Take care, K.

    Dearest Helen,
    Escher was a great, Dutch artist! Like his staircase and other works...
    Wishing you well and also your loved ones!
    Hugs,
